I'm sure your right here Bo, and I'm sure Chevy and company have weighed the risks, as they know what "free agent status is. " I just think if Chevy and company wanted an honest chance of resigning Hayes -- this could be taken away by Sather and Hayes having a pre-arranged agreement between themselves, for him to go back to New York-- whereas I'd like to see the Jets have a "fair chance" of resigning him.
BTW- Ladd was "finished' in my opinion--he had sports hernias, was slow, and very much in decline--the best "non signing" the Jets have accomplished. You may not agree, but hey--that's what these boards are all about.-"various perspectives."
You do make a good point on resigning having "no impact" on the Jet's decision.
